Jesus cried, wept and died I guess he went up to heaven I've been downtown such a long, long time I'll never make it home by seven Won't you come and take me home I've been too long at the fair
I went down to Jason's Walked 'till my feet was sore I never knew what laughing was 'Till you walked out the door Won't you come and take me home I've been too long at the fair And Lord, I just can't take it anymore
Well, you can give my soul to Abraham Give my soul to Saul Give my bones to Canada My teeth, they don't hurt at all I don't know who made the highway I guess that's just my pride But I have heard the prince of darkness On his charger ride
The silver blade is gleaming The scales are in his hands I swear another night is falling Don't you lose another man Won't you come and take me home I've been too long at fair And Lord, I just can't stand it anymore And Lord, I just can't stand it anymore
